"Xaver Auer has developed Sesotec into an innovative and highly dynamic company. I sincerely thank him for this optimal basis and I greatly look forward to having the chance of taking part in shaping the success story of the company in the future", says Marc Setzen. "My objective in the medium term is to turn Sesotec into a premium provider in our focus industries. The term premium for me includes a high quality demand in our products, services, and processes."

"With Marc Setzen we were able to recruit an experienced manager," says Xaver Auer, previous CEO of Sesotec. "My successor has comprehensive competences and skills. Best preconditions for keeping Sesotec on its above-average profitability course and for further increasing the company's attractiveness for customers, partners and employees.
